Goapele is a true songstress. Her albums Closer, Even Closer, Change It All, Break of Dawn, Strong as Glass, and DreamSeeker are a combination of ethereal and straightforward – with soaring vocals, strong rhythms, and direct lyrics. 

That directness is one of the joys of this interview with the Bay Area native. She discusses everything from her upbringing, music, and collaborations, to her experience as a parent--all with equal levels of candor. 

If you know Goapele’s music, this is a must-listen. If you’re not switched on to this deeply talented artist yet, now’s a perfect chance!
